FILTER Magazine #56

Yoni Wolf must have opened up his bedside diary when recording WHY?’s newest album. Mumps, etc. is a collection of random musings and thoughts that speak of small-time stardom, mortality and sexual positions strung together over experimental beats of violins, pianos and guitars. It’s disjointed, but somehow held together by Wolf’s honestly and sometimes-brilliant turns of phrases: “I’ll hold my own death as a card in the deck to be played when there are no other cards left.”
